After returning to Dart Town, Marven and the others finally lived a few days of peace. The resolution of the hostage crisis www.biquge.info gave everyone hope of leaving the Iliad and going to the Marne Federation.

Marven instructed Mance to write letters to the commander of the 9th Division, James, and the Imperial Marshal Rocherio, in which he not only exaggerated the harmony, stability, tranquility and tranquility of the Iliad Kingdom, but also praised Marvin and others for their exploits in relieving the hostage crisis, and expressed their loyalty to the Empire, devout to their faith, and showed great enthusiasm for going to the Marne Federation and visiting the front line of the Holy War.

In order to persuade the higher-ups to transfer themselves to the Marne Federation, Marvin mobilized the pastor as well, and in his letters to the church, the pastor expressed his gratitude to Marvin and others at great length, and claimed that these believers who were "extremely devotive" to God the Father should have the opportunity to go to the Holy City to witness miracles.

Within two days, letters of praise from the Church and the Imperial military were sent like snowflakes to the Pioneer Battalion station, and Marshal Rocherio had a large quantity of reward material brought to them as a token of appreciation.

"The empire is generous!" After receiving the batch of reward materials, Marven couldn't help but sigh again and again, in addition to the mountains of food, equipment, and gold coins, there were actually two boxes of powerful magic recovery potions.

These mana-regeneration potions are no small task, and for mages, they can often be decisive in battle. Mana potions are often sold at sky-high prices in the market.

Marven kept one box for himself, another box for Rogge, and the rest of the supplies were all distributed to the soldiers of the pioneer battalion.

Things seem to be about to come to fruition, Marven is in a good mood, these days he is happy, he has nothing to do to guide Zhang Feng's magic, to his satisfaction is that although Zhang Feng's qualifications are mediocre, but he is diligent and hardworking, and his magic has also grown a little bit since this period of time.

With the absence of the fighting, the Pioneer Battalion also relaxed its vigilance during this period, and the officers drank and reveled into the night almost every night.

The seemingly peaceful kingdom of the Iliad is now undercurrent, and everyone is unaware of it.

One morning half a month later, Mance rushed into Marven's room and woke up Marven in a panic who was still sleeping with his head in his arms.

"Something big is wrong, wake up quickly!"

"What's going on? Is there another riot in Darttown?" Marven yawned and rubbed his hazy sleepy eyes.

"It's not this...... Mance shook his head quickly.

Marven shouted angrily: "Then what kind of mess can there be, rest! Don't bother me if it's okay!"

"Your Excellency Commander is coming to our town of Dart soon!" said Mance, with a slight cry in his voice.

"Oh, that's a good thing, why don't you go out and greet us, and by the way, don't forget to say some nice things to us." Marven looked relaxed.

"O master, he's here to hold him accountable, don't you know, the Imperial army's supplies have been robbed by the Moses rebels!" Mance fell to his knees in front of him.

"Bang!" Marven almost fell off the bed and touched his red and swollen forehead, "How can this be, this is a big trouble!"

At noon, Mance led Marven and the others to the reception hall, and it didn't take long for James, who was tall and dressed in Mithril armor, to walk in with a gloomy face surrounded by guards.

"Mance! See for yourself! What are you doing to disgrace our Ninth Division!" James angrily slammed a stack of papers on the table.

Rogge and Hammond glanced at each other, and then hurriedly went up and moved a seat for James, poured coffee, and said with a haha: "Your Excellency, Commander, take your breath, sit down if there is something to do, and talk slowly......"

James snorted coldly, and said angrily: "Do you know how serious the damage caused by this attack is? Three hundred and twenty cartloads of food, fifty carts of equipment, and fourteen truckloads of potions all fell into the hands of those heretics! Now, even Marshal Rocherio knows about this matter!"

Mance's face turned pale, and his whole body trembled involuntarily, if he was just punished by the commander, it would be nothing, but Rocherio, who is known as the "massacre of ten thousand people", knew about it, and he was afraid that he would have to shed his skin if he didn't die.

"You still have the face to say that the territory of the Iliad Kingdom is peaceful, is it so peaceful? It is a time of war, and the escort and transportation of strategic materials cannot be allowed to be missed, and the infidels in the towns along the supply line must be thoroughly cleansed, but what do you do? Why are there so many heretics in Dart Town?!" James rushed to Mance and roared loudly.

Marven was shocked when he heard this, and listening to James's tone, he didn't seem to intend to let go of the residents of Dart Town.

He hurriedly walked to James's side and spoke: "Your Excellency, the rebels in the Iliad Kingdom have already been wiped out by us, will there be anyone else planning this attack, do you know, the supply line is very important, will there be other Moses countries, such as the Saracen Empire, send elite soldiers to infiltrate, and then ......"

"No way!" James interrupted him with a wave of his hand, scoffing, "I hope this matter was done by other Moses countries, at least then Marshal Rocherio will not be held accountable for our Ninth Division, but you may not know that the borders of the Iliad Kingdom have long been completely blocked by the Empire, and the eastern border area is even more of a super-level magic enchantment laid by the Magister, even the most elite Crescent Moon Knights of the Saracen Empire cannot break in, and the sneak attackers can only be the infidels of the Iliad itself!"

"Your Excellency Commander, please give us time, I will definitely find out all those despicable attackers and atone for their merits, but I have a small request, those civilians are unarmed and will not pose a threat to us at all, please let them go!" Marven placed his staff across his head, stroked his chest, and gave an imperial military salute.

James helped him up, with a playful smile on the corner of his mouth, "Deputy Pioneer Officer Marven, I heard that you have repeatedly performed qigong in the battle of Dart Town and the hostage crisis, and the marshal has praised you very much, and the church has praised you for your pious faith, firm will, and unsettling in the face of danger......"

"Don't dare to be, the marshal and the church have praised it. ”

"Marven, now is your chance to show your faith. James sneered: "Although the heretics here are submissive on the surface due to the force of the empire, they always harbor evil intentions, and only by thoroughly purging them can the safety of the empire be guaranteed in the most fundamental way!"

Seeing that Marven was still unwilling, James walked to his side, lowered his head and whispered, "I hope you can take the lead in purging all the infidels here, otherwise, I will have to doubt your motives for joining the holy war!"

Marven had no choice but to nod and accept, and in front of James, he agreed to the order to slaughter the city.

After James left, Hammond walked up to Marven with a serious face, "Master Marven, are you really going to slaughter civilians?

Marven sighed: "The situation is very serious now, the road to the Marne Federation has been completely blocked, and the border is still the barrier laid by the Magister of the Empire, we can only have a chance to leave here if we try to win the trust of the Empire and the upper echelons of the Church." ”

"Do you have to slaughter innocent civilians in order to win their trust?" Hammond was so displeased that he thrust his two-handed sword into the floor, "I won't do this anyway! The mercenary group has a rule that we cannot be directly involved in religious wars, let alone carry out the task of slaughtering civilians!"

Marven smiled helplessly, stepped forward, and patted the mercenary captain's broad shoulder, "Hammond, I can understand your thoughts and feelings, and I don't want to carry out this fucking order, but you know, even if we don't do it, the empire and the church will have other ways to purge all the infidels here......" He looked out the window blankly, "No one can keep them." ”

After experiencing too much war and blood, Marven has become numb to killing, and many times, human beings are just doing similar things to demons under the banner of sacredness. (To be continued.) )
